The frequency drops occur when the CPU is NOT throttling. It occurs when I am playing gae and temprature is about 65 - 70. I am keeping a constant eye on temperature sensors.
It goes upto 85 in prime95 without modfying tdp, and goes to 100 if i change it. yes im on stock cooler. The thing is, the cpu dips to lower frequency while under load, not on idle. even though i have set it to stay at 100 percent in windows powr options > minimum processor state = 100 percent.
I have reset the bios, flashed it to a different version and even tried replacing the motherboard, same issue. I believe the cpu itself is bad or maybe the psu. I wish i could figure out. What do you guys think?
Power settings control panel? Not sure what you are referring to...And I have disabled turbo because of high tempratures, onec I get the cryorig H7 I will turn it on
EDIT: You mean the power settings in the windows control panel? Thats on high performance with minimum CPU state set to 100%
Max TDP while underload is 80 watts according to HWinfo since its running at 4.0 GHz. I am stress testing with Prime95 v26.5 and it doesn't have AVX 2.0 support.
Hello, in my recently built computer, which is using a 4790K and MSI Z97 gaming 5 motherboard, I'm experiencing a strange problem. My processor is currently running at 4.0 Ghz. I have disabled turbo boost to keep the temperature low. Now the problem is that every time my CPU is under heavy load...
